The famous Brooklyn Bridge was a must-see for me while in New York last weekend!

Whenever I have seen this bridge on TV and in pictures, I had never imagined the amount of people that were actually in route on this historic bridge that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River.

Whew! I’m back from Charleston, South Carolina, after a much-needed vacation! Nic + I spent a few days in our favorite southern city after I celebrated my best friend’s Bachelorette party (don’t worry, I’ll have pictures up from that awesome time soon!).

A couple of months ago, I was able to sneak away with family to visit a city I had never, ever been to: Pittsburgh. Thanks to a ton of y’all’s recommendations and a lil’ research on my end, we were able to find some really awesome spots in this underrated city. It’s a super short drive from Columbus (about 3 hours) and well worth the trip on 70E for a change of pace.

I’m so excited to share this Athens travel guide with you – it’s been in the works since this past Fall after a day trip visit chocked full of good food, drinks, and fun explorations. I’ve been visiting Athens for years now – my husband went to OU – and the quaint southern Ohio college town holds a lot of fun memories.

Disclaimer: This post has a TON of pictures. I took sooo many photos while in Miami last month! I couldn’t help it. I’m going to try my best to keep the words to a minimum and let the photos speak for the post themselves:

So, three of my best girlfriends and I decided to venture south to Miami for a reunion (we all live in different cities) last month.
